porgie66 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Yes. Off the top of my head, New York 7/28 and 29 73 are near complete, missing encores I think . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue Dounim Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 7/28 and 7/29 are both basically complete with slight cuts here and there but no songs missing except for Stairway on 7/29. Chicago 7/6 is also pretty much complete. San Diego is almost complete save for most of Dazed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not aware that none of the '73 boards are part of the "soundboard revolution". Sure, np. Almost all of the '73 boards are fragments (either first 2/3 or last 1/3), and the complete ones (2nd NY, 1st Chi, NO) predate the "revolution". Not sure if they're from a single source or not, but pretty sure they're not from the '75 and '77 source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago 7/6 is a rough show , marred by a rowdy volatile crowd and Plants sick voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, true . I don't think there are two sources though. I have Second City Showdown and it sounds to me like the board levels amd EQ changed throughout the course of the show. There were some PA issues , so maybe that's why it sounds different as the show went on. That might be a good candidate for a matrix since both audience and board tapes are near complete. I did a very amateurish matrix of New Orleans and I think it sounds really quite good compared to the flat board tape. You can hear some overlapping but the vibe is better overall.

Sticks of Fire Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I believe most of the 1973 shows came from a source in England - 1st gens from the person who lifted them from Page. I think 3 or 4 came from Sean the Bootlegger and acquired from an inside source in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonfan159 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I just want a complete soundboard for the Orlando 71 show (Orlando Magic). My favorite Zep boot but the patches sound pretty bad and Whole Lotta Love cuts off during the medley, and probably my favorite live version of the song. The Bath Festival 1970 would be great too, with Immigrant Song being performed for the first time and that wild rock medley at the end.

Im only responsible for Mobile, Chicago (from Rain Song to the end of the show), Buffalo and Fort Worth '73. They were separate from the other '73 boards and held by another person. I circulated them in the old trading circles soon upon receiving them for mass consumption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Ryan watson Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 My number one concert at the top of my wish list is Vancouver 1971 opening night of the 71 north American tour. Plants voice was so great the next night in l.a so was probably even better in Vancouver. Probably a montruex 71 level vocal performance. They always seemed to step up their game in Vancouver. The 1970 concert was great and the 2 1975 shows were imo 2 of the best 5 shows of 1975 and 2 of the better post 73 shows. Someone spiking Robert with acid messed up the concert in 1973. But there is about 0 chance I will get to hear that show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Ryan watson Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Something from the 1971 back to the club's tour would be amazing. That was the last full tour where plants voice was at its peak. Belfast is an insane vocal performance. The 2 1972 Seattle shows and the 2 Nassau shows from the same year are at the top of my list. Milwaukee August 31 1970 is another one of my favorites. One of plants greatest performances . His range at that show is mind blowing. The handful of German shows in the summer of 1970 following bath are some other of my dream shows. Really any show from bath to msg in 1970 in an quality would be a dream. For me that period is plants prime. It's the only period where plants voice is consistently amazing every single show. His range is unbelievable during that time. He hits every scream and high note and his voice almost never cracks. Soaring clean and powerful upper range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzo_fan Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 (edited) Assuming we soon get the full boards (or multitracks) for both Osaka '71 shows, my Top 5 is now as follows, without repeating any years: 1. 9/19/70 New York (Evening Show) -- this show speaks for itself 2. 6/19/72 Seattle -- almost put this #1 because the tape we have for it sounds much worse than 9/19/70, but since we do have How The West Was Won from a week later, this comes in at #2, since there is literally no officially released live stuff from later in 1970. 3. 7/21/73 Providence -- best show of '73 IMO, and edges the two below it because the audience tape has so many cuts 4. 6/22/77 Los Angeles -- best show of '77 IMO, and could take its rightful place as 6/21's equal with a SBD release 5. 3/12/75 Long Beach -- #5 simply because we already have basically every other great '75 show in SBD or Millard quality Just missed the cut (in chronological order): - 6/28/70 Bath Festival - Any full show from Japan '71 or Europe '73, or earlier of course - 6/3/73 Los Angeles - 5/18/75 London - 4/28/77 Cleveland - 4/30/77 Pontiac - 6/13/77 New York - 6/26/77 Los Angeles Most Desired Unreleased Shows: 1. 5/4/71 Odense or 5/10/71 Liverpool -- maybe they played "Gallows Pole" and/or "Four Sticks" again? A newspaper article on the Timeline says that they did play Gallows in Liverpool. Maybe Plant sang as well as he did on the 3rd in Copenhagen 2. 9/1/70 Seattle 3. 8/19/71 Vancouver 4. 5/31/77 Greensboro -- Bonzo's Birthday, Round II...Bonham giving it a little something extra in a year where he was already playing 'over the top' regularly must've been a real treat! And reports on the Timeline indicate that "Black Dog" was played as a second encore, a rarity for '77... 5. 2/27/75 Houston -- curious to hear the first "No Quarter" with the grand piano 6. 5/19/77 Baton Rouge -- should be even better than the night before in Birmingham!

paplbojo Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Montreal 1975 Anything Euro 73 Baltimore & Providence 1973 Belfast 1971 (would do terrible things to have this soundboard) Manchester 1971 6/22/1977 7/24/1979 Sydney 1972 In that order. Is that too extensive? If we get even 2 or 3 of those I'd be satisfied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue Dounim Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Been listening to 1980 shows lately and man do I still really wish we had the first 24 minutes of Rotterdam, Vienna, and Munich in soundboard form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
